when I went down back in Dec, my front wheel got bent and rashed. Was just gonna get a front wheel, but saw these wheels I couldn't pass up. I'd had the idea of painting the wheels to match the forks, and it just happens that someone had some already done up and for sale. The previous owner went with some gold Marchesini wheels instead. I also had 12K miles on my stock rear and front tires, so was in need of tires as well, and these came with like-new (still slippery) Dunlop Qualifiers. Got them on today and I think it looks bad ass. Now I just gotta get a new pipe, turn signal, and bar ends (doing gold on those). Then I'll probably do some gold CRG levers.

Don't know much about bikes, but that looks pretty sweet. Nice color combo with the gold/silver.

thanks. :D if you like it enough, you can find leftover '07's right now going for $7899 or less right now at certain Yamaha dealers. that's $1300 in savings right there on a 150hp bike.
